Cycling in Lewisville

The Flying Turkey Trot is a great loop of rolling hills and long, low grade grinds. This can be a very fast metric century if you want it to be or it can be a nice casual jaunt through the country. This is an awesome route during the autumn months. Do it backwards or forwards- both are great! • Start Lewisville Square • Left Belnette Rd • Right Shallowford Rd • Left Hauser Rd. • Right Williams Rd • Left Shallowford Rd (turns into Courtney-Huntsville Rd) • Right Brawley Rd • Left Old Stage Rd • Cross Hwy 601 • Straight Lone Hickory Rd • Left Sandy Springs Rd (turns into Bear Creek Rd) • Right Liberty Church Rd • Left Angel Rd • Rest Produce Stand On Right • Cross Hwy 601 • Right Angel Rd • Left Cana Rd • Right Pudding Ridge Rd • Left Cedar Creek Rd • Right Hwy 801 • Left Wyo Rd • Left Davie-Wyo Rd (at stop sign) • Right Courtney-Huntsville Rd (turns into Shallowford Rd) • Right Williams Rd • Left Hauser Rd • Right Shallowford Rd • Left Belnette Rd • Right Into Lewisville Square • End Lewisville Square

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Jeff’s Windy Gap Century Challenge</span> <span style="font-family: Arial;">103 Miles Approximately. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">A great century route that starts and ends in Lewisville, NC. This is an </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">awesome route that offers a wide variety of terrain types and a very scenic century route. I put this together as my “crown jewel” of cycling routes. Very nice century route even for the less than super fit cyclist. Only a couple of steep climbs but the continual rolling hills make this route challenging. Highly recommended.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial;">This route offers it all- distance, fast flats, gradual climbs, rolling hills and a few steep ascents. You'll start in Forsyth County and hit parts of Davie, Yadkin, Iredell and Wilkes Counties as well.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial;">There are several places to stop for a break and refresments. However, you will pass the Shiloh Bakery twice, so, hit it both times!</span> <span style="font-family: Arial;">Toughest sections- the climb over Windy Gap Mountain and the climb over Mathis Mill Road. Both will test your fitness level.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial;">Watch for dogs on Old Highway 60 in Wilkes County.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial;">Normally, the roads are all good and lightly travelled.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial;">Have a great time!</span> <span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span> <table class="MsoTableGrid " style="border-collapse: collapse;
